Module Aims
On successful completion of this module, students should have an understanding of the integrated form and function, physiology and pathophysiology involved in the main human body systems. They should also have a detailed understanding of the pharmacology involved in the treatment of the pathologies introduced.
The module is delivered using a Team-Based, and Case-Based approach, in which students must be an adaptable team member and take their turn to lead their team through a Case. In working as a team, students must learn to recognise their personal limits and subject-based knowledge limits, understand the importance of implementing critique from peers and staff in the learning environment. Students are set detailed Learning Outcomes for each Case and they must take personal responsibility for planning for distribution of independent and directed reading/research workload for themselves and their team. The overall outcome of this is that students will solve the problem of “what is wrong with their patient”
When leading their team, students will set a positive example by keeping the highest level of professional conduct. The module compels students to take an active role within the cohort and appreciate the effect this has on the group dynamic since they are accountable to their peers. Teamwork encourages students to accept and appreciate personal strengths, weaknesses, and limitations and actively seek guidance to improve.
In engaging with the module appropriately, students will fully achieve the following level-appropriate Behaviour Domains of the USW Graduate Attributes:
Communication: Behaviour 1, 2, 3
Innovation and Enterprise: Behaviour 1, 2, 3
Project Management: Behaviour 1,2, 3
Leadership: Behaviour: 1,2,3
The Capabilities associated with these behaviours are found in the Graduate Attributes table at the end of the descriptor.
Content Summary
Using an integrated case-based, teamwork-based, problem-solving learning approach, students will study:
The Cardiovascular System
The Respiratory System
The Gastrointestinal System
The Musculoskeletal System
The Nervous System
The Renal/Urinary System
Students will study key case pathologies of these systems to highlight important anatomical and physiological
concepts such as, such as:
Cardiovascular: Anatomy, Physiology and treatment of cardiovascular function including cardiac muscle, the cardiac cycle and cardiac output
Respiratory: Regional differences between lung ventilation and perfusion and basic principles of acid/base
metabolism in relation to lung function
GI: Physiology of digestion including the composition of secretions from the upper gastrointestinal tract and the
hormonal control of their release
Musculoskeletal: Relating the motor and sensory innervation of the lower limb to clinical deficits
Nervous: Physiology of cognitive function
Renal: Physiology of kidney function in osmoregulation, acid-base metabolism and urinary tract infections

Learning Outcomes
| # | Learning Outcome |
|---|---|
| LO1 | Develop a deeper knowledge of the ‘normal’ structure and function of the human body and its application in the identification of anatomical structures in models and animal specimens. |
| LO2 | Be able to apply this knowledge to specific case-based problems in human health and disease in termsof normal and abnormal physiology, how to test it, treat pathologies and intervene with pharmacological agents. |
